One of the most famous children's books of all time, Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book remains a thrilling tale of a boy caught between two worlds, now in a beautiful gift edition for the Union Square & Co. Signature Children's Signature Clothbound Editions line. Follow Mowgli, the man-cub raised by wolves, on his adventure-filled journey through the heart of the jungle. With guidance from the wise bear Baloo and the graceful panther Bagheera, he learns the complex rules of the wild--but when the fearsome tiger Shere Khan threatens his world, Mowgli must confront the ultimate choice: embrace the Law of the Jungle or the call of the human village. More than a century after its initial publication, Kipling's compelling saga of loyalty, belonging, and coming of age remains a powerful and unforgettable classic that is perfect for young readers' libraries. This edition also includes Kipling's Just So Stories, a collection of short stories that whimsically explore the origin stories of animals, like how the leopard got its spots.
